What Trump Is Doing In the Courtroom
April 15, 2024 at 12:14 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
New York Times: Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack.
Trump has apparently jolted back awake, noticing the notes his lawyer passed him several minutes ago,

This is how he keeps going all day and well into the early morning hours, day after day. Without his chemical buddies he'll crash, BIGLY!

(14,181 posts)He has a plan.
Make it look like he is taking a nap. Then spring up out of his chair. Pull a three foot long machete out of his pants leg. Hop up on the bench and cut the judges head off,.. and hold it up infront of the jury and babble on about how nasty the judge, and his daughter too, has been to trDUMP.
The court bailiff will jump up out of his seat, with tears in his eyes, and say,...
"President Trump I voted for you two times and I intend to vote for you again. Now please wipe the judges blood off your hands and return to the defendant's table so the trial can resume and you then found innocent.
Because the judge has met his demise due to your actions the court is trying to contact Judge Cannon to see if she can come up here to rule on this case in your favor as she has done thus far and staunchly protected your best interests on the Florida case.
Who ever said justice is blind is an absolute idiot, the bailiff said. Justice is responsive to those who have tons of money and is eager to avail themselves if you are willing to make a backroom deal where piles of money changes hand."
Order was returned to the court - and the trDUMP trial promptly resumed.
○□○□□
trDUMP smiled at the court bailiff and returned to his seat at the defendant's table.
trDUMP thought- well that stunt should capture a lot of media attention on the nightly news cycle and into the next few days. Good news and bad news are equally beneficial. Because Donald John Trump has embraced and normalized Idiocracy - American Democracy is now equivalent to a scumbag Reality TV show.

I keep trying to imagine a world without trump. Where he's GONE. And as they say in aviation terms, "no longer a factor." At this point, I'm so fed up with ALL THINGS trump that I just want it OVER. And HIM OVER.

(1,147 posts)If he had been a greatly respected person, maybe I could see them being cautious but he threatens our country. He should be treated with the mistrust he earned and deserves.
bdamomma
(63,928 posts)those are government secrets tossed all over the place. This is what he thinks about the security of the United States and us.
Fuck him and his so called privileges/entitlements'.

(81,523 posts)Well, this is serious shit. I would think ANYONE on the defense side wound want to be up and wide awake ALL DAY LONG. Chugging coffee or something to stay awake, or having somebody sitting behind you, close enough to kick your chair to keep your eyes open.

(6,625 posts)... which he normally gets from TV, social media, and a chorus of sycophants. Without it, he can't stay attentive for very long. I'm not sure whether it's due to an actual attention deficit disorder and just to being an entitled asshole.
Marthe48
(17,042 posts)He can't make gestures, or mutter, or roll his eyes. But he can pretend to fall asleep and then jerk awake. Since i don't believe that anything traitor does is uncalculated, I can't help thinking that he is faking this too.

(89 posts)I have a thing for bespectacled ladies and a bigger thing for smart, demure bespectacled ladies. Plus I love how shes seemingly singled him out to tighten the bolts on. Its almost like a professional vendetta of hers that I can support.
Re: asshat falling asleep in court shows willful disrespect for the court. If the judge isnt banging fists or gavels to keep him uncomfortably attentive we might be in trouble. Or, fuck it, let the geezer sleep through it.
